After defending my thesis
last year, I wanted to show my newfound admiration for all things LaTeX.
Since I spent a lot of time getting the formatting just right for my
purposes (following typographical advice of numerous sources),
I decided to create some LaTeX packages for research-based documents.

latex-mimore

latex-mimore is
a minimal and modern template for reports, such as the ones you have to
do for a seminar. You can also use the class for longer documents, such
as a bachelor's thesis, but I would recommend using latex-mimosis,
which I describe below. If you clone the repository and set up your
LaTeX environment correctly, using the class is as easy as writing

Design considerations

clean: there is no LaTeX trickery involved; the page is neatly divided
using standard typesetting practices. Adjustments to the defaults are
documented and make sense. At least to me.

minimal: there are no unnecessary adjustments of anything in there, no
spurious decorations. The layout is inspired by Robert Bringhurst
and his ideas about typography.
You can also detect a hint of Edward Tufte in there,
even though I am not such a big fan of the layout in his books; at
least not for my own dissertation.

modern: the template should be pleasing to the eye, without any of the
cruft that is a remnant of typewriter times.

The templates are released under an MIT licence and I would love to hear
your feedback about them. If anything is missing or can be improved,
please open an issue in the corresponding repository.
